Sitek Fuzzie Germanium Fuzz v2

FUZZIE FUZZ v2

Meet Fuzzie – the First Lady of Fuzz. While chilling with her glass of champagne, she brings classy fuzz tone to your guitar signal. This Muse is a sweet combination of vintage and modern.

Fuzzie offers a wide range of dirty tones – from mild distortion to dynamic fuzz, rich in harmonics and sustain. This Foxy Lady has the classic vibe and warmth of saturated Germanium transistors, and a clever modern design (with impedance matching circuit) allowing her to be placed either before or after the buffer pedal without losing it’s full, dynamic sound (unlike many of the fuzz pedals). Her ‘Bias’ and ‘Texture’ knobs give you additional tonal flexibility allowing to dial in anything from vintage, super smooth drive to fat and aggressive fuzz.

This Muse is a 100% discrete analog circuit designed upon three carefully selected stages, and is equipped with New Old Stock Germanium transistors.

Controls:

Smooth-Click™ Footswitch:

The pedal is equipped with the DeMont Smooth-Click footswitch – the highest quality footswitch on the market – which provides True Bypass operation.

Level:

Controls the output volume of the pedal.

Fuzz:

Controls the amount of distortion and sustain.

Texture:

Controls the tonal characteristics of the pedal.

• Turn counter-clockwise for smoothest tone.

Turn clockwise for fat and saturated fuzz sound.

Bias:

Modifies the operating point of the circuit  for fine tuning the harmonic content, mids and attack. It also allows to compensate for Ge-transistors temperature sensitivity that might alter the tone.

• Set at 12 o’clock for an “ideal” fuzz setting – creamy and round tone.
• Turn clockwise or counter-clockwise to dial in the desired character of the pedal.
